Here is a sneak peek of the Lino Tagliapietra Exhibition opening this Friday the 24th from 5-8pm. Some of the Endeavors in this picture are over 65″ long. We’ve hung 9 of them from the ceiling.

The Pismo Gallery in Denver is teaching a class “Glass As An Art Form”. Every Thursday for 8 weeks the staff is taking turns teaching OLLI students about glass, artists and techniques. This past thursday the class met at Kit Karbler’s studio Blake Street Glass to see glass blowing first hand. The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at the University of Denver is an adult learning membership program designed for men and women age 50 and “better” who wish to pursue lifelong learning in a relaxed non-competitive atmosphere.

Internationally acclaimed glass artist Peter Bremers is bringing his environmentally aware and inspired artwork to Aspen’s PISMO Gallery.
The exhibit will open with an artist reception January 26th from 5pm to 8pm and run through March 1st, 2012.
Bremers is known for his cast glass “landscapes” which are inspired by his extensive tra…vels in Asia, New Zealand, Africa and the Antarctic. Bremers describes his time in Antarctica as helping him to understand that, “…man is not only part of nature but therefore also part of creation itself and its continuous evolution.” Bremers goes on to say that his “Icebergs” and “Canyons and Deserts” series (which he also refers to as glass “landscapes”) are reflections of his inner travels, mirroring his outer travels. Whether his art is in the form of sculpture, vessels or objects, it is always a personal account; what Bremers calls “the impressions that melt in my head.”
